I'm going off the top of my head and only from personal experience here, but for me the difference is primarily about joint vs muscle pain. Joint pain is almost always bad. If you just did a ten mile hike and you don't normally

I'm definitely a procrastinator. I've noticed three things. First, I get bored with tasks, so I make things exciting by putting them off until the pressure mounts. Second, I have a hard time actually finishing something and bein

Yes. Also, consistent, responsible use of anti-inflammatories. For example, one 200mg ibuprofen three times per day, evenly spaced, seemed to pay off more than 400mg in the morning and 400mg before bed. And, of course, you have to rememb

Having been through several bouts of RSI-type injuries, here's my advice: 1) take up active hobbies that strengthen vulnerable body parts. Rock climbing did wonders for keeping my De Quervain's tendinitis from returning. 2) str

KT tape is a scam. You're not going to affect tendons and muscles by applying colorful tape to the surface of the skin, it's absurd.

I don't. I would if I were at least paid to, but I focus on writing software for myself to generate income instead of generating some multiple of my salary for an employer. There was an article on HN about an open source developer who

Everyone wants free money. It's not free money. It's passive income from intellectual property. So even if you believe there's some moral right to prevent others from doing things with some "intellectual property&quo

The article mentions moisture several times, as well as draining moisture during the trip. It also explains liquefaction in terms of water acting on the solid, whereas I always thought it was just about granularity. From the article, it do

I don't understand why HN seems to want everyone to be a wage slave. If I create original work, I want to profit off it for my life. Anything else is just punishing people who are creators rather than property owners.

Interesting piece up until the COM rant tangent. COM was brilliant. It was complex because what it did was complex. It provided a binary contact for unrelated software packages to communicate. It was an absolute breeze to work with in V

Hierarchies are great if you get to manage them and stay on top of it. The Windows Start Menu search is frustrating, since you're at the mercy of an algorithm. The other day I hit the Windows key, typed the first few letters of an ap

So, this is more akin to paying a lawyer to author a letter for you in order to persuade another party to take the legally correct course of action.

Regarding suicide, I blame relatively poor mental healthcare, rigid societal expectations of people's lives (family & career track), and a (supposed) history of suicide as a solution. Or maybe in the West, with cultural roots in Ch

It seems like it would be hard for a parent or the community to monitor kids' social media use in a way that's appropriately hands-off. Maybe mandate that users under 18 have parental consent and give the parent access to somethi

The idea that it's 2018 and we don't have solar powered desalination plants for some of our largest, sunny, water-limited southern cities boggles my mind. Los Angeles has a nuclear plant just to the north, but no desalination, an

"In 1942, the Germans were our enemy." "In 1992, the Germans were our friends." Facts don't change. Poorly-worded, imprecise, incomplete statements can be misunderstood, though.
